A beautiful story of fate, love and loss, tied together by two families who were never meant to stay apart and the powerful bond that will link them forever. Late 1930's Germany: Two noble life-long friends, Alex and Nicolas, are witnessing the cusp of WWII when Nicholas's father reveals the long-buried secret of his son's partial Jewish ancestry. Urged to flee, the only treasures Nicholas and his sons can take are two dazzling Lipizzaner horses - gifts from Alex. These magnificent creatures become their ticket to a new life waiting across the ocean - one in which a job has been promised to Nick with the famous Ringling Brothers Circus. While Alex and his daughter face escalating danger in war-torn Europe, Nick struggles to adjust to life in the circus...until a graceful young high-wire walker manages to steal his heart.
